Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (ESC) establishes security settings that define how users browse the internet and intranet websites. These settings also reduce the exposure of servers to websites that might present a security risk. This process is also known as IEHarden. For more information, see Internet Explorer: Enhanced Security Configuration.

To troubleshoot this scenario, refer to Standard users can't turn off Internet Explorer Enhanced Security feature on a Windows Server 2003-based terminal server or a later version. Basically, you may have to enable or disable ESC again. Targeting the registry may be the easiest way to resolve this problem.


So both of our domain controllers are still running Sever 2003 :(,,, Needless to say I am waiting on approval to upgrade them. Anyways we have a number of trusted sites that need to be added to each computer for our one cloud based solution to work correctly. So needless to say I pushed them out through group policy... User Config -> Internet Explorer Maintenance -> Security -> Security Zones and Content Ratings... Import the current security zones and privacy settings. Then I added the necessary sites to the trusted sites. The sites get pushed out to pc's running ie 9, but 10 or higher no dice. So I imagined that there was a new template out for ie 10 and 11. So I downloaded inetres.adm from the following site :


-trusted-sites-internet-explorer-group-policy/ Opens a new window BUT of note is that it doesn't allow users to add more on their own as it locks it down. So the only way to add more is to configure it in the GPO


If you have a Windows 8 or 8.1 workstation, download RSAT and then install Group Policy Management Console. You can then log in as the domain admin on that PC and open GPMC. All the new administrative templates work on Windows 8 or Windows 2012. The group policies will still be pushed out from the 2003 server, but you will not be able to see them unless you log into a Windows 8 or 2012 machine.


I'm still trying to do this on a 2003 server, the only windows 8 devices that we have on our domain are tablets. I would rather not use the tablets. My question is why won't this work in my application:


Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP / Windows Server 2003Direct download links to IE8:Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003Direct download links to IE9:Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008


Microsoft used to offer IE6 on its website but has since removed it. Thankfully, the Internet Archive, which is dedicated to preserving internet history, has a copy of IE6 with Service Pack 1 available to download.


Anyway on using the same URL in Firefox and Chrome browser, the xlsx file is downloaded properly without any issue. Why IE explorer alone is downloading xlsx file as zip file. Can someone help me to download the xlsx file as it is.


  • Use the Remove Cached Client function under Utilities from the HODMain.html Web page to remove the Cached client or Administrator client, then try to download the client again.

  • Do you say Yes when asked if you trust content from International Business Machines?

  • Check whether a program that disables pop-up messages has been installed on the client machine, or the if web browser has been configured to disable pop-up messages. Host On-Demand issues pop-up messages, so disabling pop-ups can cause Host On-Demand to stop processing.

  • Does the client download hang during Java detection? If so, check to make sure the client has either Java 1 or Java 2 installed, depending on how you configure your session. Refer to the checklists for Java 1 and Java 2 for more information.

  • Are you getting a segmentation error when trying to launch the Host On-Demand applet using a Netscape 4.x browser on a Linux machine with the 2.4 kernel? If so, upgrade your browser to either Netscape 7.x or Mozilla on Linux with a Java 2 JRE. Are you getting a blank page when trying to download the client? If so, check the Java Console for a WVolatileImage exception. If you have this exception in the stack dump, add the following command at the JRE command line: -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true

  • Did you encounter a blank Java Security panel when trying to download the Host On-Demand client on a Linux machine and get a code>java.lang.InternalError: not implemented yet exception in the Java Console? If so, try changing the screen resolution and/or color depth used by the X11 Windowing System.

  • Check the client workstation to make sure there is enough space on the workstation disk to store the Download or Cached client. Refer to you operating system documentation for more information.

  • If you are using the configuration server, check that port 8999 is open from the client to the Service Manager machine through the network and all the firewalls in between. Refer to your firewall documentation for more information.

  • Make sure that the browser has Java Scripting turned on and that the firewall does not block Java scripts, including any firewall software on the local client computer. Also check that anti-virus programs are not blocking Java Script process. Host On-Demand clients use Java scripting. For example in Internet Explorer, Select Tools > Internet Options and click the Secuity tab. For the Web content zone field, select Internet if the Host On-Demand system is accessed via the Internet, otherwise select Local intranet. Next, click the Custom Level button and enable the Scripting options.

  • If you are using a portal server to serve up the Host On-Demand client code, but the client does not completely download, for example, you receive only a partialy completed screen of data, check the Host On-Demand code base to make sure it is set for the Host On-Demand code deployed on the portal server. If the code base is not correct, the client code will not download correctly.

Complete the checklist for Java 1 browsers. Check the JVM level of the client's Internet Explorer browser to make sure it is at a supported level. You must have JVM level 3165 or later installed in order to use Internet Explorer withHost On-Demand V6 or later. To determine what JVM level is currently installed, you can view Internet Explorer's Java Console by selecting View > Java Console, if you have enabled the Java Console display.


  • While most configurations with multiple Java 2 plug-ins work, if you have problems with the Host On-Demand cached client and you have multiple Java 2 plug-ins installed, follow these steps: Uninstall all the Java 2 plug-ins.

  • Install the Java 2 plug-in that you want to use with the Host On-Demand cached client.

  • For clients running Java 2, launch the Java Plug-in Control Panel, click the Cache tab and then the Clear button to delete any files that have been cached. Exit out of the Java Plug-in.

  • Deleting these files removes your user preferences and any recorded macros. Check the proxy settings in the Java 2 Plug-in's control panel are valid.

  • Check if you have an SDK installed, and that classpath is pointing to the correct location.

  • Did the plug-in completely install? Try installing the plug-in again.

  • Check the URL listed in the browser window to make sure Host On-Demand's Java 2 page is present. The URL may show the Java 1 page. Try uninstalling all Java plug-ins and reinstall.

  • Complete the Web server checklist. Check the Web server logs for any messages issued during the download time period. Refer to your Web server documentation for more information.

  • Check that the zSeries Web server has been configured correctly for Host On-Demand files. For example, the *.js and the *.js files should be defined so that they are served as ASCII on zSeries. Refer to your Web server documentation for information regarding defining files. Also reference the Host On-Demand Program Directory

  • Check that all the files and directories under the .../hod/ directory have read, write, and execute permissions. For example, on zSeries, you can use CHMOD filename 755 to set the correct permissions on the file filename. Also check /HODDATA/ and its subdirectories for the correct file permissions.

  • For Microsoft IIS 6.0/ Win 2003 Server, verify that you have enabled all the required MIME types for the files that ship with Host On-Demand. To identify which file types lack MIME entries, review the Web server log file. Any Web server errors of 404 3 indicate the file is lacking a MIME entry. The MIME type should be added as application/octet/stream.

  • If the Host On-Demand cached client or download client fails to download completely, such that only the Host On-Demand banner graphic and an empty (without session icons) gray Host On-Demand desktop area is displayed, or if an error message is displayed such as 'Downloaded file does not match signature', then the cause of the problem may be that the server is timing out and aborting the download. That is, because the data to be downloaded is large and because the client may be slow, a timeout value in the server associated with the download may be exceeded, causing the server to cancel the download. If this happens, make sure the Web server configuration values are large enough to allow the client the time necessary to download over the network. We suggest the following timeout values as a starting point for HTTP Web servers that are using Host On-Demand. You may need to adjust these values based on your experience and network environment. Refer to your Web server documentation for more information on setting timer values. If you use the IBM HTTP Web server on the z/OS operating system, try the following timeout values: InputTimeout: 10 minutes OutputTimeout: From 20 minutes to an hour ScriptTimeout: 10 minutes PersistTimeout: 10 seconds

  • If you use the IBM HTTP Web server on a Windows operating system, try the following timeout values: Timeout: 1200 KeepAlive: On KeepAliveTimeout: 40-60
